Comprehensive Care Approach to Drug-Related Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis Using Percutaneous Vegectomy.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTricuspid valve endocarditis is more prevalent in the population of patients who inject intravenous drugs. The comorbidity of active addiction significantly complicates treatment in this population and multidisciplinary management is required. CASE SUMMARY: A young man with a history of active injection drug use presented with isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis. The patient was deemed a poor surgical candidate because of active addiction. The patient underwent percutaneous vegectomy with successful aspiration of vegetation. DISCUSSION: Multidisciplinary management played a critical role in the patient's recovery and eventual surgical intervention. Although tricuspid valve endocarditis is common, management of active addiction complicates management. Currently no guidelines exist for management of infective endocarditis in intravenous drug use. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Percutaneous vegectomy can be a useful tool to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with drug use-related infective endocarditis. Multidisciplinary management is critical for success in these high-risk patients.
